HOW TO WRITE UP A REPORT

In Science classes it is important to be able to write up a Laboratory or experimental report. This allows us to repeat the experiment in the same way every time it is done so that results can hopefully be repeated. You will already have looked at how to write a basic report. This section builds on your report writing ability. Assessment of experiments in class often has a large component of the mark based on the report you produce.
